"Speaking as an early American historian who spent decades immersed in what the founding generation thought about political power — specifically about executive power — this presidency is entirely out of bounds and beyond anything the founding folk could have conceived of." — @jbf1755.bsky.social

In the Great Hall of the Doges Palace in Venice are portraits of the Doges. One is just painted black. That is the one who tried to stage a coup and wreck the Venetian System. I think about that a lot when thinking about how history will view Trump.

Really sad to learn my great colleague David Hencke has just died. He was a legendary journalist, probably best known for breaking the cash for questions scandal He was a lovely man, who loved reporting stories others missed and kept filing, even from his hospital bed. He will be hugely missed

It's been great to have Sixth Form student Beckie join us for work experience in the constituency office this week. I've been really impressed with how she has contributed in the office and I hope she has had an insightful week. I look forward to welcoming her for a day in Westminster soon.

Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty to national security violation, including a personal diary containing classified info Trump stole hundreds of highly-classified documents & nuclear secrets, refused to returned them, violating Presidential Records & Espionage Acts & NOTHING

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Next week: Why representatives from the Flat Earth Society are being invited to advise NASA on Project Artemis.

Trump thought suing the BBC would intimidate them. Instead, they turned his own lawsuit into a legal headache that could force him to defend his actions surrounding January 6 under oath. That is the kind of self inflicted karma no political strategist could have scripted.

Bravo @maxwilkinson.bsky.social on this 👇

Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.

Why was this quietly abandoned @seanlwoodcock.bsky.social, why?

I can't think which national leader projected his country's identity as his own - and vice versa. Some German bloke in the middle of the last century... As I recall, little good came of it. Wake up, Americans. There's still time!

More of this please.

Instead of removing trial by jury, fix shit like this.

Extraordinary credit to Sadiq Khan for pushing through this deeply controversial policy. This is what can happen when politicians are prepared to stick to their principles.

As Samuel Alito carried water for white supremacists, he should be reminded that the second iteration of the Ku Klux Klan (after World War I) was more virulently against Roman Catholics (that would be you, Samuel) than they were against Blacks.

Post person passing today with post. Said they had been on holiday last week and nothing on their round had been delivered, so they were catching up on a week's post not done. Banbury post office @seanlwoodcock.bsky.social

They are. Scrap them all. Her too as Home Secretary.

For the 1976-ers lurking on this platform… #ClimateChange #Heatwave

I’ve been given £5m by a cryptocurrency millionaire so my wife Bunty & I will be taking a break. We’re off to buy Ferraris, hire security & tell anyone who asks to bugger off as it’s none of their bloody business.🤬 Off to the South Pole to escape the socialist heat. Back Monday!

"There is this curious disconnect between the fact that Farage's signature political contribution is Brexit and yet he's not discredited by so many people thinking it has gone badly." If Brexit 'failed', why is the "Godfather" of Brexit's party leading in the polls 10 years on?

TikTok's latest illegal 'life hack' seems to be 'dispute credit card transactions for free stuff' and legality aside I am here to beg you: Do not do this to small businesses. It really fucks them over in ways you may not be aware of beyond stealing from them (which is, to be clear, what this is).🧵

This was better in original German

I don't see the point of "tax" that isn't tax, and "transparency" that isn't transparent.

"dangerous" and "inhumane" are the best words to describe the Trump administration

​🚨 BREAKING: Shocking reports and footage show police brutally assaulting young demonstrators on the bridge between Ohio and Kentucky. The group was protesting Trump’s policies when police responded with extreme force.

'The Law' is literally breaking down in front of American's eyes.

Ha ha, Jorge still thinks America is a function democracy!

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

Daily Beast: The US military has been forced into a humiliating climbdown over Pete Hegseth’s flu vaccine rules after an outbreak at a US Air Force base spread to at least 222 recruits. It's almost like putting a Fox News weekend co-host in charge of troops was a mistake. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Surrey County Council is right to listen to the overwhelming opposition to its original plans to close and merge a school of no religious character with a faith school, and seek alternative options, including a merger with a school of no religious character.

You notice that the criminal-in-charge who sues everyone for everything is drop dead quiet about this. Says a lot.

We Will Beat You, DOGE And Musk. We're On The Good Side Of Things,And We Won't Be Stopped. Hey Elon,We Hear You're No Longer A "Trillionaire",This must hurt Your HUGE Ego.......

“We’ve only had 114 years to do something, let our kids sort it out!”

Boring, lazy journalism. Trump the narcissist makes everything about him (unless something goes wrong, in which case, nothing to do with him). Have you not been paying attention for the last...20 years or so? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Nope, not Britain just the majority of the MSM who see it as a blood sport to get lots of clicks. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

. 🖕 Trump's fascist America ! Hey Patrick 🤞 !! .

Heatwave escapes for Mini Clarions: Oxford City Council have announced extended opening hours for Cutteslowe and Hinksey Splash Parks - now from 10.30am until 8pm. (Our article on other cool spaces is a very live document right now oxfordclarion.uk/cool-spaces-...) #publicservicejournalism

This is fantastic news Angela Rayner👏

I've been profoundly aware of urban design the last couple of days: how parks and trees on streets make the city tolerable in these temperatures.

This is very well done.

While Reform-chasing Badenoch revels in her "head girl at a 6th form debate" image, this is what a proper progressive government has been quietly up to. Please read as there is an impressive list of projects underway. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Yesterday evening saw the Rose Ceremony at Earth Trust Centre at Wittenham Clumps. Ted Fenton, Chair of Oxfordshire County Council presented a rose to the Trust in payment for public access to the Trust's green spaces, the largest available to the public in Oxfordshire.

Events dear boy, events.

Unfortunately I can't make the debate on second jobs as I'm in America for a speaking engagement before coming back to promote gold bullion then doing my GB News show and squeezing in a few Cameo recordings before bed.
